On a not-so-tall hill, Luo Men quietly gazed in one direction.
Through the channels of the San Yi Sect and the Lu family, Luo Men had also locked onto Wu Gensheng's escape route, then found a predicted location to intercept him.
Suspended in mid-air, seated cross-legged in the void, Luo Men resembled an The Celestial.
However, this area was a sparsely populated place, so there wouldn't be any ignorant passersby.
Luo Men, in a state of unity with nature, possessed a unique and quite expansive God's-eye view through his mutated Transparent World.
In the nearby forest, Luo Men also saw a rather disheveled and unkempt man swiftly moving through the jungle with agile movements that even the most flexible ape could not match.
"Phew~ Finally shook them all off."
Wu Gensheng wiped the sweat from his face and let out a sigh of relief.
Although he was very strong, his current status was only due to the uniqueness of his Divine Spirit. If it came down to a fight, where two fists were no match for four hands, he would still have to run.
Wu Gensheng, or rather Feng Yao, was ultimately just a relatively strong outsider, without the power to dominate the world on his own.
At this moment, Wu Gensheng had not rested properly for three days and three nights.
Ever since the list of the Thirty-Six Thieves was leaked, the troubles each of the Thirty-Six Thieves faced were only getting more problematic.
And this time, the opponents Wu Gensheng encountered were quite tricky and difficult to deal with, totaling eighteen.
Eighteen experts in external martial arts with short, cropped hair. Relying on the purest and most powerful external martial arts, their coordination was incredibly seamless, so even with his Divine Spirit, he could only flee in disarray.
Although Wu Gensheng was an expert, he had no pretense of being one. He dropped his pride and ran without any hesitation.
Wu Gensheng was not afraid of death, but he did not want to die yet, at least not before his mission was completed.
Moreover, those eighteen external martial arts experts were not necessarily nobodies. Fleeing in disarray in front of this group of people seemed to be no problem at all. With their bronzed skin, formidable external martial arts, incredibly coordinated joint attack techniques, and a faint lingering Zen aura, Wu Gensheng didn't even have the energy to complain.
"It seems my luck is good."
However, hearing the voice suddenly coming from ahead, Wu Gensheng's face also showed a bitter smile.
"Is it never-ending?"
But this time, he did not continue to run but walked in the direction of the voice. This time, he only had one person to face.
Facing one person and facing eighteen external martial arts experts who knew how to combine their attacks were two different concepts.
Facing a single enemy, even if he had been exhausted for three days and three nights, he would not be particularly afraid.
"Do you have any water?"
Stepping out of the forest, Wu Gensheng had a smiling face, completely devoid of worry.
If he had fallen into the encirclement of those eighteen people, under their ingenious and powerful combined attack techniques, even Wu Gensheng would not have had many chances to escape. This time he was lucky.
But if he only faced one person, Wu Gensheng had enough confidence to escape at will. Thus, he naturally became a bit interested, wanting to see who this person blocking his path was.
Someone daring enough to block him alone was not someone ordinary people would dare to do.
"Wu Gensheng, do you recognize me?"
Looking at the unkempt old man who slowly walked up the hillside, completely disregardful of his appearance, Luo Men remained unaffected and slowly spoke.
When Wu Gensheng saw the young man floating in mid-air, with overall pale skin, long white hair fluttering in the wind, sitting cross-legged as if an The Celestial had descended, his expression instantly stiffened.
Inverse Life Triple, and an Inverse Life Triple far more complete than Left Ruotong's back then.
Although for the past two years, he had been focused on gathering the Thirty-Six Thieves and didn't know much about outside affairs, he did know that the San Yi Sect had not declined directly after Left Ruotong's passing. He still recognized Luo Men, a young man who was only fourteen years old at the time, who had directly subdued all the disciples of the San Yi Sect with his formidable strength, then gained a formidable reputation during the war, earning the title of The Celestial.
Wu Gensheng naturally knew how troublesome Inverse Life Triple was. If Left Ruotong's mental state had remained intact back then, then purely in a war of attrition, whether he could have walked out of the San Yi Sect unscathed that day would have been a question.
Moreover, although Inverse Life Triple had flaws, reaching the third stage was indeed, as he claimed, unmatched in the world.
Most importantly, the Inverse Life Triple possessed by the young man in front of him seemed to have a fundamental difference from Left Ruotong's Inverse Life Triple back then.
Although Left Ruotong could form a pseudo-innate Qi body through a continuous supply of acquired Qi, it was merely a very complex technique. And coincidentally, his Divine Spirit was excellent at dealing with complex techniques; the more complex the technique, the stronger the effect his Divine Spirit could exert.
However, the difference between the young man in front of him and Left Ruotong was that he could not see any trace of a technique on the other party's body, as if the other party's body was naturally formed, without any acquired means. That incomparably pure innate Qi made him feel extremely uneasy just by looking at it.
In short, facing Luo Men, even if he used Divine Spirit, it would be useless, because the other party was already a very pure existence, and his Divine Spirit could not even sort it out, so naturally, it couldn't be broken.
He saw that Luo Men had taken a completely different path from Left Ruotong, using Inverse Life Triple as a foundation, continuously improving his own life and nature, and then naturally elevating the Inverse Life Triple realm, truly transforming into pure innate Qi.
One could say that at the crossroads where Inverse Life Triple reached a dead end, he turned onto the true path to heaven.
Although he wondered why Luo Men, at such a young age, possessed such terrifying cultivation of life and nature, he knew that in his current state, nine out of ten, he couldn't defeat Luo Men, and he couldn't escape either. This single person might even be more terrifying than the previous eighteen.
Thinking of how he had caused Left Ruotong's Dao heart to collapse and pass away not long after, Wu Gensheng felt a surge of guilt.
"Um, can you let me live?"
Looking at the unkempt old man with a somewhat awkward smile, Luo Men suddenly spoke: "Now, do you still think Inverse Life Triple is not a path to heaven?"
"I admit I was somewhat presumptuous. Daoist Master, you are magnanimous, how about sparing this humble one's life?"
Hearing Luo Men's question, Wu Gensheng shamelessly called Luo Men
